Tyler Selph - Songwriter, Vocals - I Lit A Candle For You by Tyler Selph. Copyright 2017 all rights reserved.Here's one I wrote a few years ago and recorded a few months ago but just had re-recorded by my friend Jamie Laritz of Dogear Studios with studios in both Ft Myers FL and Nashville TN. He is an incredible musician and recording technician. He plays all of the instruments on this song and did all the editing & mixing. All I had to do was sing the vocals when he was done with all the tracks and how easy is that? This song is also available on iTunes and Spotify. Now the lyrics... "I Lit A Candle For You"
When I invited you for dinner I was hoping you’d say yes. And when you asked what I was serving I told you, you would have to guess You smiled when I suggested that we dine in candle light…And in the end you said alright… And I had dreamed of this night…So I lit a candle for you baby… And I... I was hoping maybeThat you would make my dream come true And I might... share just one night with youSo I lit a candle as I waited for you… I lit a candleI placed the candle on the table as I polished up the place Stood thinking of the way the candle-light would shine upon your face And I hoped that you would like my place and hoped you'd be impressed As I looked into the mirror hoped you like the way I'm dressed? But suddenly I noticed that the night was getting late I wondered where you were you said that you'd be here by eight I thought by now that you’d have had a lobster on your plate.Instead I'm only wondering and I guess you're running late.But I lit a candle for you baby cause you told me, told me you'd be there And I set the candle there on the table with fine wine for us to share And now I watch the candle melting see the wax all dripping down And I feel like such a loser and I feel like such a clown… Cause I lit a candle for you baby… but soon… soon it will go out... I guess the date you made with me… You simply… forgot about And as the candle keeps on melting it becomes a work of art And I'll never let you know how much you truly broke my heart...

37 years Most of my tunes are on iTunes, Amazon, Google-Play, Spotify and others...

What was the first concert you ever went to?

Molly Hatchet and 38 Special in Lakeland Florida 1978.

What gear do you use?

I have over 40 guitars of all makes and models, I have tons of pa and recording
equipment and nearly every instrument you can think of.

What are you looking for from Fandalism?

Great music and good musicians to collaborate with.

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?

Elton John/Bernie Taupin. Melody and lyrics like no other. My cousin John introduced me to his music with the release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. What an incredible musical journey that album is.

Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?

I played in my first band out of Dallas, Texas called Frankie Cashmere and the Sweaters and we also had another name Flyer. Then I moved to Orlando and started a band called No Doubt. Of course we had to drop that name and then called ourselves I-51 which was the warehouse number we practiced in. In early 2000 I played occasionally with a group in Nashville called the Trailer-park Troubadours. Now i just write songs for others to perform and I sell them on YouTube.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?

I already have jammed with one of my favorites. Pat Traverse...
I'd also love to jam with Steve Miller or Roger Waters.

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?

I played in Orlando at the grand opening of Mars music. That was where I played with Pat Traverse.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?

Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits. First heard it when I moved back to the States and my new friend Kevin introduced me to them. Just overall excellent music with well written understandable lyrics and great melodies.
